Phone Adam Hickey on 0418 630 813 - He has access to some awesome paints - He did that amazing purple fleck on black on my race car... I get asked about it all the time. He can do panel beating/painting and will do a special cash price. Have a look at some of his work, then decide.

It'll look like ass for 2k. If you want a good job, apparently the place to go is Tony Farrugia and I think double your budget.

LOL and the rest. Tony Farrugia won't (or rarely) touch old cars. He's like the only authorised repairer for cars like Mercs, Beemas, Audis etc and that's what they prefer to be working on.

As an indication on their price, to repair a pin dent and tiny paint chip on our S3 it's going to cost somewhere around $1700 and that's for repainting the front 1/4 panel and the driver's door.

I'm going to get mine done at Capital Collision in November and I'm looking somewhere around the $6k mark but keeping in mind my body is very straight and I'm not doing a colour change. Engine bay is being done (kept at basic black) and that's because the engine will already be out.

But yeah keep in mind you pay for what you get. For $2k or less you'll be lucky if it looks like ass and be prepared to get it done again in the not too distant future.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
